The city centre offers a shopping experience to rival many and 35,000 students will agree that there is a great night out to be had. Why not take a quick look at these short video clips and visit www.visitpreston.com and lets us show you just a little of what we have to offer!

About this user

Preston's history dates back to the doomsday book and a simple walk around this now modern vibrant city can reveal fascinating secrets with just a peek around the corner or an upwards glance.

Evidence of days gone by can be seen in some fine architectural examples, the medieval street plan or more modern heritage plaques describing events that have taken place on the very spot where you are standing. The city's 1000 year history has provided some remarkable buildings including over 770 Grade I and Grade II listed buildings many of which are highlighted during the many organised Heritage Walks lead by The Blue Badge Guides. The walks run from April till October and cover a number of different themes and areas of the city. Schedules can be requested from the Tourist Information Centre.

To celebrate its rich history Preston is home to 6 museums. The museum of Lancashire, The Harris Museum and Art Gallery, Lancashire Regimental Museum, The British Commercial Vehicle Museum, the new Ribble Steam Museum. Football is not just a passion in Preston but for many -- a way of life! A long footballing tradition exists amongst Prestonians and as the founder members of the football league Preston is a natural home for The National Football Museum.

These days Preston is home to the fastest growing university in the UK attracting around 30,000 students into the city to contribute the vibrant buzz and youthful culture. A broad and eclectic mix of Bars, Café Bars, Pubs, Restaurants and Theatre mean you will never be short of options for an evening's entertainment. A programme of events take place across the city throughout the year so it's always worth checking whether there is a live performance that might take your fancy or a carnival procession you can join during you visit!

During the last three years, Preston city centre's shopping experience has changed significantly with the major expansion of St George's Shopping Centre, the refurbishment of the Fishergate Centre and the arrival of top, national high street retailers. Within Lancashire, there are no other towns or cities that can match Preston's shopping and leisure offer.
A thriving collection of independent stores and boutiques simply adds to the variety.

Despite being England's Newest City more than two-thirds of Preston is given over to open space and countryside, criss-crossed by over 160 miles of public footpaths and bridleways which includes the famous round Preston walk and part of the Ribble Way and Lancashire Cycle way. Exquisite Victorian parks, woodland, riverside walks, and Beacon Fell national park just a stones throw away - there is definitely more to explore!

In addition to being easily accessible from practically anywhere in the country Preston is the gateway to many of Lancashire's beautiful countryside and coastal resorts such as the Lake District, Beacon Fell, Blackpool and the Fylde Coast.
